The Vinyl Countdown # 1099
Chris Farlowe, Out Of Time – The Best of Chris Farlowe (1978) When I first heard Chris Farlowe I was bitterly disappointed. That’s because I was expecting The Rolling Stones. As a fan of the TV show Tour of Duty – and its soundtrack album/s – I was expecting to hear The Stones’ version of […]Archive

R.E.M., Murmur (1983) I first heard Murmur after the late-80s/early-90s version of R.E.M. So I loved Green and Out Of Time and then wanted to hear where it had come from. Murmur was next for me. And I loved it. Instantly. I’ve argued before that R.E.M. is/was the best band of the 1980s. And they had a […]Archive
